I have a friend who is enamored with fish tacos. She literally seeks out the best fish taco restaurants wherever she travels, and had a fish taco bar at her wedding. I never really saw the great appeal. I mean I love fish. But that’s pretty much where my love affair with fish tacos ended. [...]

Have you tried brown basmati rice before? It’s my favorite variety of rice because 1) its whole grain and 2) it smells like popcorn when it cooks. I made a big batch of it over the weekend in the rice cooker, then headed to EatingWell.com to see what basmati rice recipes they had in store. [...]

The other night, I wasn’t in the mood to follow a recipe. I didn’t even do my usual online perusing for recipe inspiration, or bring my camera into the kitchen for potential blog-worthy material. I was flying solo with Funk in his night class, and just knew I was in the mood for massaged kale [...]

Lately my Sunday evening routine, when it comes to making meals, involves my beloved rice cooker. In it, I can toss some veggies, spices, seasonings, and two hours later have a great grain dish waiting for us with leftovers for the next few days. It requires absolutely no stove or oven heat, which is key [...]

The other day my friends Pam and Jess came over to help me assemble some wedding programs and favors. In return, I promised to feed them! But after a super busy day running around, I didn’t have time to whip up anything elaborate. So, I threw together some simple ingredients and came up with hummus [...]

Usually I have my ducks in a row when it comes to meal planning. We usually go major grocery shopping on Saturday or Sunday, though we’ve been known to go to Trader Joes three days in a row. What? They may have a new product we need to know about. Usually I’ll click through my [...]

Last night I made a top 10 dinner. Ok so I’m not really keeping tabs on my best ever homemade meals, but if I were, I really think this is definitely one of the best meals I’ve ever made. I have to give most of the credit to my favorite food magazine, Eating Well for inspiring this [...]

Any time I see a recipe labeled “curry” it catches my eye. This one from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen did, especially. (Look how pretty her picture is! Must get Indian décor bowls and plates.) When I got home hungry and late at night last night, I didn’t want to follow her steps of baking the [...]

Ever since we ate some delicious vegetarian enchiladas at our friend’s Mexican food themed birthday party, I’ve been thinking about trying my own. At the grocery store I tossed a variety of veggies into my cart, some tortillas, and enchilada sauce to seal the deal. Ingredients: 2 Roma tomatoes, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced [...]
